dipstick 0.7.1

A fast and modular metrics library decoupling app instrumentation from reporting backend. Similar to popular logging frameworks, but with counters and timers. Can be configured for combined outputs (log + statsd), random sampling, local aggregation of metrics, recurrent background publication, etc.
